Whose Nexus?: A Life (House) with "Who's Next"

In 1971, an unrealized sci-fi film concept, the teachings of Sufi Master Meher Baba, an acetate of new tunes, and an inspired jam session with Leslie West, all informed what became the Who’s Next album. 52 years ago today, what is now considered a milestone album in the history of rock music, Who’s Next was released. With a massive Super Deluxe Edition of early 70s Who music looming I had cause…

Love has to spring spontaneously from within; it is in no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force. Love and coercion can never go together; but while love cannot be forced upon anyone, it can be awakened through love itself.

Love is essentially self-communicative; those who do not have it catch it from those who have it. Those who receive love from others cannot be its recipients without giving a response that, in itself, is the nature of love.

True love is unconquerable and irresistible. It goes on gathering power and spreading itself until eventually it transforms everyone it touches.

Humanity will attain a new mode of being and life through the free and unhampered interplay of pure love from heart to heart. --Meher Baba The Lovers Chenar @IamLine5

"All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged."

— Meher Baba

[shallowseeker]

On the note of Jack being EUPHORIA-inducing and associated to drugs ("Dude, how high are you?" / "I like cocaine!") and dream-walking...

...this theme shows up again when Jack says "I like The Who!"

One of The Who's most famous albums is Tommy:

[About] Tommy Walker and his path to becoming a spiritual leader and messianic figure. The concept of Tommy was modeled after Meher Baba, an Indian teacher who focused on Godly avatars appearing in human form. British Army Captain Walker goes missing during an expedition and is believed dead ("Overture"). His wife, Mrs. Walker, gives birth to their son, Tommy. She remarries. Later, The Captain returns and kills the lover in front of Tommy, and all involved gaslight Tommy that he saw nothing.

It's certainly not one-to-one, but there is a parallel with Lucifer. Our heroes thought he was vanquished at the hands of Rowena's spell, but Lucifer is alive. Lucifer returns "home" to find Kelly shacked up with Cas, and he kills Cas. (Lucifer takes out the protector in order to get to the softer underbelly.)

But the analogy fragments, of course, ricocheting back to the trauma of Mary Winchester, who lost both her parents and lover in the same awful night, putting her in a place where she was too young and handcuffed to fight back properly against a manipulative deal:

Deanna, who dies with her eyes open, like Kelly dies with her eyes open.

//

Samuel, who dies by stabbing himself in the stomach, as Crowley does. (Crowley is not The father, but he's Lucifer's mirror here, because Crowley's downfall was triggered by the loss of his own son Gavin MacLeod)

//

Cas also dies of a stab wound, a bit tangential to Samuel, but the WAY he falls and is splayed bears more resemblance to the fallen lover, John

///

//

And in this moment, THIS time... Mary is ready. She steps forward, the warrior-widow, ready to fight.

And though she can't prevent the losses that have already occurred, she CAN protect her children and protect the new life (Jack). When she steps forward to face it, she's redeemed, protecting her remaining family with renewed strength, experience, and familial support.

As for Jack, his beloved heroes (Sam, Dean, Mary) are there to prevent his story from becoming like that of Tommy and Captain Walker.

///

And when Cas comes back...

It's a positive inversion of the fallen soldier-lover, the John, the Castiel. This too is an inverted Captain Walker, not the jealous Lucifer, but the loving father figure returning home (13x06 via @spnscripthunt-inactive)

//

This homecoming has a newer, fresher meaning: the healing that can occur when the Good Father walks through that door.

People start to smile again.

Jack becomes the reverse-Azazel, giving a lover back with no strings attached.

And Cas becomes the positive, loving version of a father arriving (unlike Lucifer).

And Jack hugs Cas, as Jo hugged her dad, "breathing in the smell of his jacket [coat]."

Jack is the joy-bringer, an inversion of Azazel's theme of despair.

///

I think another nod to The Who appears when Jack gets his soul back in The Occultum, the snake chanting Who Are You, which could be a reference to one of their bleaker albums,  “Who Are You," which trades in critical self-analysis, cultural analysis, self-reflection and self-disgust.

All in all, though, what I'm trying to say is that I think they were intentionally keeping in mind bands like The Who and messiah-rock operas. :-)

Jack is also nearly inextricably tied to Mary's loss of her parents and her lover.

And to Jo and John:

To Jo's loss of her father (initials W.A.H. engraved on her blade).

To John's loss of his father (initials H.W. imprinted on his journal).

If a thousand suns were to blaze forth together in the sky, they would not match the splendor of that great form.

THE COSMIC VISION

Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 11

Behold, O Arjuna! My celestial forms, by hundreds and thousands, various in kind, in color, and in shape.

Behold the Powers of Nature: fire, earth, wind, and sky; the sun, the heavens, the moon, the stars; all the forces of vitality and of healing; and the roving winds. See the myriad wonders revealed to none but you.

Here, in Me living as one, O Arjuna! Behold the whole universe, movable and immovable, and anything else that you would see.

Yet since with mortal eyes you cannot see Me, lo! I give you the Divine Sight. See now the glory of My Sovereignty.

"Per penetrare l'essenza di ogni essere e significato, E per liberare la fragranza di quel conseguimento interiore Per la guida e il beneficio degli altri, Esprimendosi nel mondo delle forme – Verità, amore, purezza e bellezza – Questo è l'unico gioco che ha un valore intrinseco e assoluto. Tutti gli altri incidenti e conseguimenti possono, in sé, Non avere alcuna importanza duratura." ~Meher Baba XVISION ****************************** "To penetrate into the essence of all being and significance, And to release the fragrance of that inner attainment For the guidance and benefit of others, By expressing in the world of forms – Truth, love, purity and beauty – This is the sole game that has any intrinsic and absolute worth. All other incidents and attainments can, in themselves, Have no lasting importance." ~Meher Baba XVISION

BTS as the seven deadly sins ♛

Superbia (pride, hubris)

↳ Pride is defined by Merriam-Webster as "reasonable self-esteem" or "confidence and satisfaction in oneself". [1]Oxford defines it as "the quality of having an excessively high opinion of oneself or one's own importance." [2] Pride may be related to one's own abilities or achievements, positive characteristics of friends or family, or one's country. Richard Taylor defined pride as "the justified love of oneself",[3] as opposed to false pride or narcissism. Similarly, St. Augustine defined it as "the love of one's own excellence",[4] and Meher Baba called it "the specific feeling through which egoism manifests."

Acedia (sloth)

↳ Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins in Catholic teachings. It is the most difficult sin to define and credit as sin, since it refers to an assortment of ideas, dating from antiquity and including mental, spiritual, pathological, and physical states. [1] One definition is a habitual disinclination to exertion, or laziness. [2] Views concerning the virtue of work to support society and further God's plan suggest that through inactivity, one invites sin: "For Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do." ("Against Idleness and Mischief" by Isaac Watts).

Avaritia (avarice/greed)

↳ Greed (or avarice) is an insatiable desire for material gain (be it food, money, land, or animate/inanimate possessions) or social value, such as status, or power. Greed has been identified as undesirable throughout known human history because it creates behavior-conflict between personal and social goals.

Invidia (envy)

↳ Envy is an emotion which occurs when a person lacks another's quality, skill, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it. [1] Aristotle defined envy as pain at the sight of another's good fortune, stirred by "those who have what we ought to have". [2] Bertrand Russell said that envy was one of the most potent causes of unhappiness. [3]Recent research considered the conditions under which it occurs, how people deal with it, and whether it can inspire people to emulate those they envy.

Ira (wrath)

↳ Anger, also known as wrath or rage, is an intense emotional state involving a strong uncomfortable and non-cooperative response to a perceived provocation, hurt or threat.

Luxuria (lust, fornication)

↳ Lust is a psychological force producing intense desire for something, or circumstance while already having a significant amount of the desired object. Lust can take any form such as the lust for sexuality (see libido), money, or power. It can take such mundane forms as the lust for food (see gluttony) as distinct from the need for food or lust for redolence, when one is lusting for a particular smell that brings back memories. It is similar to but distinguished from passion, in that passion propels individuals to achieve benevolent goals whilst lust does not.

Gula (gluttony)

↳ Gluttony (Latin: gula, derived from the Latin gluttire meaning "to gulp down or swallow") means over-indulgence and��over-consumption of food or drink. In Christianity, it is considered a sin if the excessive desire for food causes it to be withheld from the needy. [1] Some Christian denominations consider gluttony one of the seven deadly sins.
